trigger warning: talk of self harm and crude insults
it had been a pretty busy month, with it being the end of the first semester which meant finals. everyone was a lot more understanding during this time of the year so no one took it personal if we couldn't hang out. especially with this being our senior year. but today was that exception.
we were at the taco shop, again. this was one of our many usual hang-out spots. hands down the best mexican food you'll get in our city. everyone but angelina was here.
i had to hide my disappointment when miguel announced that she was busy with prior plans. we hadn't spoken since the day at the beach and i was worried she realized that i wasn't worth being friends with. it was something i had grown used to over the years.
"fuck man," mac huffed out, tossing a crumple up napkin onto his plate. "i don't think i did too hot on my math final."
mac was one of the smartest people in our friend group, so hearing his words definitely shocked a few of us.
miguel shook his head and patted mac's back in a reassuring way. "i doubt that. you're fucking smart, dude."
"i barely even studied. that one chick from lucian's kickback kept blowing up my phone about some stupid shit and kept distracting me." he ran his hands down his face.
rocky shook her head causing some of her curls to fall from their place behind her ear. "i told you that girl was bad news. there's a reason all her exes say she's crazy."
"the girl gives bomb head," he chuckled. "i didn't give a fuck what her exes had to say about her."
normally, i tuned out the guys' conversations about girls and their sexual activities. maybe it's because i grew up with sisters and was raised with common decency, but i didn't understand the need to constantly boast about intimate moments to others. it was disrespectful and quite honestly, it was unnecessary.
a part of me wanted to speak up against it but i was too much of a coward. they'd find a way to make fun of me and i don't think i could handle it.
so instead, i pulled out my phone and scrolled through instagram. my eyes widened a little when a familiar face appeared in the 'recommended to follow' section. i glanced up and quickly looked around, almost like i was making sure no one saw my phone.
angelina's page consisted of multiple posts of herself and her artwork. it's no wonder she has thousands of followers, not only is her work stunning but she's just as beautiful. she's so photogenic that she could definitely pursue modeling. hesitatingly, i pressed on one of her posts and the images enlarged on my screen.
it appeared as if the pictures were taken with an old, vintage camera. she's sat in the passenger seat of a car with her hair curled around her face. the grainy image doesn't hide how pretty she looked.
